'Women of Color in Japan'

Women Of Color in Japan is a documentary film Directed by Amarachi Nwosu produced under Melanin Unscripted that highlights creative women of various backgrounds who are making strides toward their vision of social inclusion, equity, and representation living in Tokyo, Japan. These women empower themselves and others by embracing their distinct positions in Japanese society and push against the adversities that come with it. 

“Although Tokyo is known for being homogenous, I met people from all over the world that helped me grow as a storyteller and an individual. While there may not be many situations where you see a Nigerian-American artist from the U.S. with a Japanese born filmmaker of Indian descent and a Japanese and Jamaican musician, this film represents a personal exploration of more stories inspired by identity and culture that could bring a diverse group of people together both in front and behind the scenes. Women of Color in Japan was a tool to be the change we want to see as creators and as viewers” - Amarachi Nwosu
